I'm not two-faced Pinto, and I have no problems with this. It hasn't broken rules and looks a non-issue.

And it's not 1.5 flights a week. It's 37 return trips in a 60 week period, unless you're suggesting she flew somewhere and got a bus back.

It may sound outlandish but it's the cost of doing business. To put it into some perspective, her counterpart in the Government - who lives in Sydney and isn't a Senator from the Northern Territory - has racked up over $180,000 in the same period.

It's just team point-scoring Pinto, and damages any attacks on actual travel rorting when it happens.
